While walking through the lobby at the ASA Staffing World 2011 conference center, I noticed something fascinating to my right.
OK, so I didn’t notice it on my own. There are so many signs around it’s easy to start phasing them out. A very nice woman in a suit, who I believe worked for the conference center, brought it to my attention.
It was the Wall of Ideas. When she first showed it to me, I was probably the third or fourth person to write on it. Each board had a different topic and people were invited to write their comments on the appropriate board.
I immediately planned on coming back at the end to see what people had written. After all, a conference is supposed to be about sharing thoughts and ideas, right?
The four topics were as follows:
- How are you innovating your sales, recruiting, or management in your firm?
- What is your biggest business challenge?
- What would you like to see at Staffing World 2012?
- What’s your ah-ha moment today?
I must admit, they aren’t the most eloquently worded questions, but I didn’t care. I was interested most in what people had written.
Let’s get started shall we? I’m going to break this post up into four different posts, so come back every day this week to see what everyone wrote!

We have taken the no sales approach. We’re not pushy and rely a lot on word of mouth and referrals. The innovating thing is getting back to the basics of what we offer and the simplicity of how our services are rendered. We are genuine people who genuinely care and we make sure, above all, that stands out. None of us make sales visits but we do go out into the community and visit businesses. We pay attention to detail and focus on the little things that set us apart. We offer viable business solutions that don’t need to be sold. Often they need to be understood and we talk to people how they prefer to be talked to. All of the business details (sales pricing, etc.) are worked out with open communication and a process that offers no hassle. I know many companies strive to be like we are but they lack authenticity. We are a community business because we are out in the community volunteering. We live in the communities in which we work and we work to get the communities we live in working. We don’t have to recruit internally because people see we are doing great things and they want to be part of the team. Never underestimate a personal touch!
